About Genevieve
Genevieve is committed to developing Australia’s creative landscape. Originally from rural Tasmania she moved to Melbourne to study sculpture and fashion, where her studies catapulted her to a range of international opportunities including designing collections in Berlin and Stockholm, and presenting her own work at the 2025 Paris Fashion Week. She strongly believes that Australia already possesses the foundations for a flourishing fashion industry: internationally revered materials like Australian wool and leather, local production initiatives and innovative practitioners. Her ambition is to rebuild Australia’s sovereign design capabilities by combining international best practice with Australian materials and craftsmanship and creating a community of practice that will benefit designers, makers and artisans. She will undertake a Master of Arts in Fashion at Central Saint Martins and sees this as the essential next step in her practice, providing access to an international community, specialist knowledge and global networks that are unavailable locally. Upon return to Australia, her long-term vision is to establish Australia’s first Couture House modelled on successful international examples such as Le19m, aiming to foster a fashion ecosystem of commercial viability, sustainable design practices, preservation of specialist knowledge and creating a talent pipeline for future practitioners.
